PETER LATHAM

Poisons and medicine are oftentimes the same substance given with different intents.

People in general have no notion of the sort and amount of evidence often needed to prove the simplest matter of fact.

The practice of physic [Medicine] is jostled by quacks on the one side, and by science on the other.

Remedies, indeed, are our great analysers of disease.

We should always presume the disease to be curable, until its own nature prove it otherwise.

Common sense is in medicine the master workman.

There is nothing so captivating as new knowledge.

Truth in all its kinds is most difficult to win; and truth in medicine is the most difficult of all.

Fortunate indeed, is the man who takes exactly the right measure of himself, and holds a just balance between what he can acquire and what he can use.

Perfect health, like perfect beauty, is a rare thing; and so, it seems, is perfect disease.

It takes as much time and trouble to pull down a falsehood as to build up a truth.
